Dish rankings by city
Best dishes by city
Pick a dish and a city to compare listed plates, descriptions and recorded totals.
Recorded totals include starter data and votes from members and guests. They are not counts of verified diners or star ratings. How rankings work
Best pasta dishes
Pasta is the dish people most often get wrong at a new restaurant, the menu looks familiar, but only one or two plates are what the kitchen actually excels at.
Best pizzas
Every pizzeria has one pie that shows what the oven can do. These are the pizzas diners keep voting to the top.
Best sushi dishes
Sushi menus reward people who order by what's fresh rather than by combo platters. Here's what diners rate highest.
Best burgers
The best burger in a city is rarely the one with the longest topping list. These are the ones people vote for again.
Best ramen bowls
Ramen shops specialise: one broth is the reason people queue. Here's which bowl to order where.
Best tacos
Taquerías are judged one filling at a time. These are the tacos the community ranks highest.
Best seafood dishes
Seafood is the category where location matters most, the best plate is the one landed nearby that morning.
Best desserts
Dessert is the course most often skipped and most often regretted. These are the ones worth staying for.
Best curries
Curry covers dozens of regional traditions. The trick is ordering the one the kitchen grew up cooking.
Best noodle dishes
From pho to pad thai to hand-pulled biang biang, noodles are the fastest read on a kitchen's technique.
Best dumplings
Dumpling houses live or die on the wrapper. These are the baskets diners rank highest.
Best steaks
Steakhouses charge the most and vary the most. These are the cuts diners say are worth it.
Best vegan dishes
Finding a genuinely good vegan plate at a regular restaurant is hit or miss. These are the fully plant-based dishes local diners rate highest, no side-salad compromises.
Best vegetarian dishes
Meat-free doesn't have to mean the least-loved item on the menu. These vegetarian dishes are the ones diners vote for on their own merits.
